4 Skirt Trends Celebrities Are Wearing Instead of Miniskirts

First of all, by no means am I implying that miniskirts are "out." They're still very popular and are likely to remain so, and there's daily proof that celebrities love them. That said, the skirt trends are getting a lot more diverse as of late. Too much of the same can get a little boring, so it's refreshing to see. I spend my days looking at celebrity outfits (it's basically my job), and I've noticed four skirt trends, in particular, that they've been gravitating toward this year.
Below, you'll find skirt-loving stars such as Jennifer Lawrence, Zendaya, and Emily Ratajkowski wearing the trendiest non-miniskirts of the season for both casual, off-duty occasions and fancy events, proving the wide-ranging versatility of these styles. Keep scrolling to see how they're styling them and shop the trends for your own spring and summer wardrobe. After all, it'll soon be far too hot to wear jeans.
Long White Skirts
It seemed a bit random at first that long white skirts would be such a thing, but now that I've seen them and worn one, I get it. They kind of go with everything and look fresh and cool no matter what they're paired with.

WEAR: Reformation Lucy Skirt ($198); Adidas sneakers

Printed Slip Skirts
We'll always have the '90s and early 2000s to inspire us fashion-wise. This time, it's printed slip skirts that are infiltrating our wardrobes once again. Ratajkowski and Katie Holmes recently proved how cool this skirt style looks with flat shoes.
WHO: Emily Ratajkowski
WEAR: Dior by John Galliano skirt; Loewe bag; Puma sneakers
WHO: Katie Holmes

Full skirts, which are perhaps the prettiest skirt trend of the season, are basically the antithesis of miniskirts. The styling possibilities are endless.

WHO: Zendaya
